## Resource

Today's story is about a rotten apple - but not only a rotten apple but about gossip as well. ________________________________________________ Did you hear about Anya? " Ruth looked up from her reading book to see her friend Eliza next to her. " What did you say? " Ruth asked. " Shh! Keep your voice down! " Eliza whispered. " I asked if you ' d heard about what Anya did. " " No? What happened? " Ruth asked. " She cheated on the Bible quiz we had before lunch! " Eliza hissed. Ruth was shocked. She didn ' t know Anya very well, but she knew Anya was one of the smartest girls in their class, and she was especially good at knowing a lot of things from the Bible. Why would she need to cheat? " Are you sure? " Ruth asked slowly. " I ' m positive!" Eliza said. " William saw her, and he told Kalia, and she told Max, and he told Amy, and she told me. " Ruth frowned. That seemed like a very long way of hearing something. " I just can ' t imagine Anya doing something like this, " she said. Just then, their friend Ella dropped into the seat next to Ruth. " Can ' t imagine what? " she asked. " Anya cheated on the Bible quiz! " Eliza whispered to her. " No way! " Ella exclaimed. " Shhh! " Ruth hushed both of them. " We don ' t know that for sure, and I don ' t want Anya to hear you talking about her. " What happens next?
